Sometimes I have to write very long words, for exampe in a technical document a
database table can have a very_long_name_for_database_table. Such long words are
treated as simple words so normally they are not broken. If this word does not
fit to the end of his row then it is moved completely to the next row and the
end of the first row remains empty. This is ugly.

For normal words of spoken languages the conditional hyphen is a perfect
solution to heal this ugly situation but in technical documents it can be
embarrassing. For example: instead this:

...very_long_name_for_-
database_table...

I would like to get it without hyphen in this way:
...very_long_name_for_
database_table...

For this reason I think it would be nice to introduce a new formatting character
besides non-breakable hyphen, non-breakable space and conditional hyphen. The
new one should be the conditional breakpoint. It should work the same way as
conditional hyphen works with the exception that it should not show the "-" sign
at the end of the row.
